Looking to get in on this group buy but why the 2 different sized mold diameters?
Looking to get in on this group buy but why the 2 different sized mold diameters?
Basically 9mm guys want .357 and 38/357 guys want .359.
I like the .359 so i can use for both 38special and 9mm. I size both to .358 and shoot
Most older military 9's (like the p-38) have large bores. Mine measures just short of .358. Very few 9mm molds reach that, so it's nice having a larger option.
Need advice fixing a coleman appliance? Maybe I can help!
Guys, thanks for the responses and info. Ordered the .357.
I got the 359 and it works great in S&W M&P 9 sized to 358.
Anyracoon, it may be prudent to slug your barrel before ordering.
.357 is to small for most 9mm and virtually all .38/357's
OR... Just cast a little hotter and wait a few weeks before sizing. And you should get to .358-.359 easy... Using WW alloy that is.
Currently looking for a Lyman/Ideal 311419 Mold - PM if you have one you'd like to get rid of!
